    I feel like there are movies where you just get more of it when older but I’m trying to think of a movie that when viewed through a lense of an adult instead of a kid makes it a sadder story.

    A Goofy Movie.

    Top of the list. You have 2 main characters to follow and it’s absolutely different based on your age.

    Also Breakfast club.

      Very similar experience with Cars 3. Children identify with the new up-and-comer race car while grownups identify with a Lightning McQueen who must accept his glory days are past and embrace the next generation.

      Shoutout for the race announcer who drops a microcosm of the whole film in a single line:

      McQueen’s fading! Fading fast!

        This is the movie after the one where Mater becomes an international spy that pisses on a stage in public?

        Man the writing for those movies really skip a generation cause the first one was good too about respecting your time and place in history but adapting it to not just be forgotten and using the lessons learned to better those that follow.
